You Asked, We Answered!
Question: I have a bunch of old videotapes and have no idea what's on them. Is there some way I can view them at the library?
Answer: There is! You can book an appointment in the Libratory, our makerspace and digital conversion lab.
The Libratory has several VCRs with which you can review your tapes (both VHS and Betamax), and we can even convert those tapes to a convenient digital format.
Use of the Libratory is free to all full-access cardholders, so either email us at lab@lcplin.org or call us at 219-769-3541 ext. 354 to book your appointment today!
